| Rollback a Release |
| |
| To rollback a release, the following requirement must be met: |
| |
| * You haven't run <<<release:clean>>> on the project. This means that the backup files and the release descriptor from the previous |
| release command still exist. |
| |
| [] |
| |
| When a release is rolled back, the following release phases are executed: |
| |
| * All project POMs are reverted back to their pre-release state locally, and also in the SCM if the previous release |
| command was able to successfully make changes in the SCM to the POMs. This is done by using the backup files created during |
| <<<release:prepare>>>. |
| |
| * The created branch/tag in SCM for the release is removed. |
| <<Note:>> This is not yet implemented so you will need to manually remove the branch/tag from your SCM. |
| For more info see {{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-229}MRELEASE-229}}. |
| |

| |
| To rollback a release execute this command: |
| |
| ------- |
| mvn release:rollback |
| ------- |
| |
| <<Note:>> If an error occurs, or the process is cancelled, then running this command again will pick up from where the |
| last one left off. |
